Evil Effects of Laws Against
Pug silisnl.

The laws do not favor boxing as
profession; but the laws in force
against professional boxing have
only served TO aggravate what is
Objectionable in it. They attempt
to do too much; aud they are not in
accord with the weight of popular
prediction. Nobody who has been
boy, and is man, could avoid
feeling interested in such battle as,
for example, that between Sayers
aud Hecnan. Comparatively few
men, on the other hand, would enjoy
a blind, uuscientiiic slugging match.
But the law makes no distinction.
Prize-hghters ought to be recognized
as distinct class of the community;
they should be regularly educated
aud trained for their calling, and
only such as received diplomas
should he allowed to practice; they
should be heavily taxed; they should
be allowed to fight only on condition
of being as equally matched as pos.
sible; they should be liable TO be
disbarred from their pursuit for un-
professional Or irregular conduct;
and certain places should be pro
vided where, and where only, the
fights should lie permitted to come
off. Such regulations as these would
possess two great advantages over
those at presen, On the statute book:
First, they could he enforced; and,
secondly, they would keep thousands
of unfit and unworthy men out Of
the profession. Julian Hawthorne,

The Wisconsin legislature has
realized the nonsense of keeping
county seat on wheels, and has passed
a law providing that when a county
seat shall have been established in one
place for a period Of fifteen years or
more, and the county has erected per
manent buildings of the value of not
less than ten thousand dollars, the
same shall not be removed, nor shall
any application for the removal there
of be submitted to a vote of the elect
ors of the county, unless a petition,
signed by at least one half of the resi-
dent free holders of the county, rs
evidenced by the recorded deeds in
the office Of the register Of deeds Of
the county, in favor of such removal
shall first be presented to the county
board Of supervisors and filed in the
office of the county clerk; and that no
election to change the county seat
shall be held for five years after the
year in which a court house or other
county buildings, costing not less than
$4,000 shall have been built at the
county seat and occupied for county
purposes.-State Journal.

The iaaddock Trial.

SoUIx CITY, March 24.--On open
ing the court house this morning the
work of securing a jury i'll the Had
dock case was continued and shortly
after 10 O'Clock the panel was filed.
The jury as selected are all farmers
but one, and that is John Adair, an
employee of the Booge packing com
pany of this city. At 1920 court was
adjourned until 2, p. M, and the after
noon was occupied with the opening
statements of attorneys Henry j.
Taylor for the state, and G.. W. Argo,
for the defense. From Argos talk it
it is evident that the defense expects
to prove an alibi and to break down
The testimony of Leavitt, principal
witness for the state. Expressions on
the street are free that no conviction
will be had with the jury selected.
The jury exhausted its twenty per-
emptory challenges and the last man
called was passed without examination
by the defense. At $50 adjournment
was taken until 9 o'clock tomorrow,
when the introduction Of evidence
will begin. 1t is again rumored that
George Treiber is in the country, and
that he will be here before the evil
dence is all in. The reliability of the
rumor connot be established.

with serpents, the wings signify swift
ness, the serpents wisdom, and the rod
power.
He was the guardian of flocks and
herds, of wealth in general, aud of
commerce in particular, and was the
tutelas deity of sailors, and of all mes
sengers.
As every one knows, a good tongue
in ones head Is most essential quail
fication for successful trader, so
Mercury becomes the god ofpersuasive
speech, that is Of oratory. From per-
suasion to downright trIckery, how
brief the transition, so we need not be
surprised to find him the protector of
thieves and rascals. In his early in
fancy he displayed his singular cum
ming by creeping out of his bed at
night, stealing his brother Apollo
cattle, and driving them backward
mo his cave. The theft was
discovered, however, and the infantiie
culprit was dragged before his father,
Jove, for punishment. But he cody
picked up a bit of she'll, proceeded to
manufacture the first Tyre, and present
ed it to his injured brother with adj
mirable sang froid. Apollo was SO
well pleased with the gift that peace
was declared
If we wish to believe the foregoing
romance, we are quite at liberty to do
so. Mercury was the god of fertility,
Apollo was the sun god, his cattle
were the clouds; and the whole story
RESOLVES itself into softly-falling night
showers, the morning sun drinking up
the rain-drops, and an earth smiling
and refreshed. G. l.. S. c.

1t is little more than thirty years
since the shores of Lake Superior were
as absolute a wilderness rs when in the
seventeenth century the waters of that
vast, cold inland sea were first seen by
the adventurous French missionaries
The first settlement was attracted by
the iron ore deposits near Marquette,
and the copper on the keweenaw pen
insula. That was in the fifties. Now
the lake bears on its bosom an i'm
mense commerce, and at many places
on its banks the forests have given
place to towns and cities. Duluth
has become one Of the most important
centres of shipping and trade in the
entire Northwest. Old Superior has
reached out an arm, called West Su-
perlor, to meet its young and FORUM
ate Minnesota sister across the bay,
and is now the scene of larger move
ments in grain and coal, and the Sc
lected site for future iron manufacture
On the north shore railroad runs
eastward from Duluth to Two Har-
bors, and thence, north to the rich de-
posts Of iron at Nermillion lake Two
Harbors has been made by this road
an active shipping port. On the Brit
ish side of the boundary the Canadian
Pacific railway has created a large
town at Port Arthur, which exports
lumber and grain, and imports coal
and merchandise On The south shore
most Of the coast line is closely skirt
ed by railways and the only gap is
now being closed Ashland is one of
the greatest iron ore shipping ports in
the world, and behind the forests which
/ bound the horizon southeast of the
town, lies the wonderful Gogebic min
ing district. Further east Ontanagon
is showing new life and still further
the copper mines of the Keweenaw
peninsula, are as productive as ever.
Last comes the great Marquette iron
dirtrict with its inexhaustible stores
of the metal most useful to man. Truly
there has been remarkable growth in
this region, where the dense forests
repel the farmer, and where within
the memory Of the present generation
the waters of the lake were furrowed
onl y by the birch bark canoe of the
Chippewa Indian.-The Northwest.
